Chapter 2148 - 699: Mission Accomplished [Tang Song’s Sticky Notes]_2

Inside, it clearly listed the dream-level support that the corporation would provide to the school:

A huge amount of horizontal research funds;

Top-notch equipment and data support;

Joint talent development program, open internship slots for master’s and doctoral students;

Sharing of intellectual property and commercial transformation revenue sharing.

Jiang Yourong was increasingly shocked as she read, her hands almost unable to hold the document.

Yanshi University? Since when did they qualify to collaborate with such a high-level corporation?!

She could even imagine the expression of shock on the principal’s old face if this letter of intent was presented to him.

And herself, she wondered what kind of superlative treatment she would enjoy at the school.

She looked up, her eyes slightly wet, her voice somewhat choked: "Chairman Jin...this...this is..."

What virtues and capabilities did Jiang Yourong have to enjoy such incredible treatment?!

Secretary Jin calmly asked, "Do you find this letter of intent acceptable?"

"Yes! Of course!" Jiang Yourong nodded vigorously.

"Very well." Secretary Jin nodded, stood up gracefully, walked around the desk, and stood in front of her, "But this doesn’t come for free."

Jiang Yourong took a deep breath and stood up as well, looking resolutely at her: "Chairman Jin, what do you need me to do?"

Having worked with Jin Meixiao for so long, she naturally knew the other’s personality and manner of doing things.

She also knew that Jin had summoned her to Imperial City for reasons beyond mere "reminiscing about the past."

Behind any gift is a pre-marked price.

Secretary Jin’s voice was gentle yet undeniable: "When you return, immediately submit a report to the academy to exempt you from teaching duties. You’ll be off duty for two years to fully engage in the ’Xuanji Light Realm’ project’s development. Do you accept, Professor Jiang?"

Her throat rolled, and she nodded heavily: "I accept."

She truly couldn’t refuse.

For her personal benefit, the position and identity of [associate professor] would still be retained, allowing her to continue accumulating accolades and resume content, while also legitimately earning project income far exceeding her salary.

As for the academy and school, the value brought by this collaboration far exceeds her teaching a few undergraduate public courses.

The academy would not only approve her application immediately, but her administrative level might even be promoted as a result.

Jin Meixiao smiled slightly, her lip curves elegant and captivating, "Very good, I knew I didn’t misjudge you."

Jiang Yourong’s heart quivered, and she almost reflexively straightened her back.

The joy of being affirmed, intertwined with the tension of being watched, made her breath feel warm.

Secretary Jin continued, "Your position is straightforward, [University Cooperation and Technology Transformation Office Director], directly under the President’s Office. You can view the actual work content as... the President’s ’technical assistant’."

She paused, slightly lifting her gaze with a touch of deeper meaning, "The actual work content can be understood as— the President’s ’technical assistant.’ You have experience as an assistant and possess sufficient professional background. I believe you can handle this. This project is very important to both me and President Tang."

Jiang Yourong was stunned, "President Tang...?"

"Exactly. Your direct superior for the next two years is Tang Song. I believe I don’t need to introduce his situation much; you might have already guessed something."

At that moment, Jiang Yourong’s heartbeat almost skipped.

Her ample chest heaved violently, waves surging.

Tang Song... President Tang... the CEO of Xuanji Light Realm?

Her brain felt like it was struck by electricity, quickly connecting all the logical lines in her mind.

She could confirm that the current CEO of Xuanji Light Realm was not Tang Song.

That is to say—

The real reason Chairman Jin wanted her to go was for Tang Song!

Along with that realization came various mixed thoughts and a sense of exhilaration.

Regarding Tang Song, she naturally harbored some special feelings.

Those fleeting glimpses during Smile Investment days truly amazed her youthful end and left many fluttering moments.

Now, she was going to work alongside him.

Just then, a warning voice sounded beside her: "This matter has not been publicly announced yet. You must keep it confidential, understood?"

Jiang Yourong immediately returned to her senses, her voice dry yet firm: "Understood."

Secretary Jin patted her soft shoulder, "Welcome back, Assistant Jiang."

That sentence felt like a seal being lifted again.

Jiang Yourong took a deep breath, "Yes! Chairman Jin!"

Jin Meixiao gestured for her to sit, and she herself sat on the sofa beside her.

Her legs crossed elegantly, she took a sip from her teacup.

"Sit down," she said blandly, "there’s something else I’d like to hear your opinion on."

Jiang Yourong quickly sat down, unconsciously shifting to the side.

"Regarding Xie Shuyu, I’d like to hear your views on her."

"..."

Jiang Yourong’s heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, what’s meant to come will eventually come.

...

Rong City.

"Achoo—Achoo—"

In the moving business car, Xie Shuyu suddenly sneezed several times.

The assistant Min beside her quickly handed over tissues, concerned: "President Xie, are you catching a cold?"

"I’m fine." Xie Shuyu waved her hand, indicating she was okay, "You continue."

"Okay," Min promptly continued reporting: "With the full cooperation of [Zhongshu Group], our exclusive supply contracts with [New Hope] and [Ju Le] have been officially signed. Furthermore, regarding the asset acquisition case for those 21 stores of [Coffee and Time], the Legal Department has already launched the first round of due diligence..."

Xie Shuyu listened quietly, occasionally suggesting some amendments on details.
